The Emerald Cup is the world's longest running outdoor, organic cannabis cup. Based at Area 101, the heart of the Emerald Triangle, the Emerald Cup has grown exponentially thanks to the hard work of so many activists, growers & professionals. The story of the Emerald Cup is rich with community and family.

Founded by Tim Blake in 2003 at Area 101, about 10 miles north of Laytonville, CA, the Emerald Cup celebrates the community and hard work of those that support outdoor-grown, organic cannabis.

The Emerald Cup brings the values of the Emerald Triangle to California and the world. Now hosted at Sonoma County Fairgrounds, the Emerald Cup has grown from a few hundred to a few thousand attendees, thus outgrowing Area 101 and the Mateel Community Center in Redway from 2009 to 2013.

On December 13 and 14, 2014, a KMUD crew setup a studio and a webstream with live feeds from the main stage, and conducted interviews on site. Below is a selection from the panels and presentations offered. We intend to add more audio from some of the other workshops at the Emerald Cup.

In its 10th year it moved out of the Emerald Triangle and drew approximately 5,000 visitors to the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa, Calif. on December 14th and 15th, 2013.
